Raven goes in for chemo and a marrow aspirate today. It's 7am right now and I am wondering what exactly her day will be like when I take her into Murdoch and leave her there. It sounds horrible "leave her there", but according to a number of sources and basic logic really it would be …

Adelaide…the first weekend
I actually wrote the below post in Adelaide on the laptop but couldn't log in to blogger to load it so here it is now....We arrived in Adelaide on the Friday the 27th to a brisk wind but no rain, though apparently it had poured the day before and was scheduled to pour for the …
CAWA State Titles Wrap Up
So last weekend (Friday night and Saturday) was the CAWA State Agility titles. For such a small state we had a good entry of over 500 runs across the two trials. Friday evening went well for me. I had Cypher in Open Jumping first up and he did a nice run for a 9th place …
Cypher’s Dogwalk…4 on the Floor
Ok had a few queries about Cypher's dogwalk contact - here is a video of it.http://www.yourdogphotos.com/cy4onfloor.wmvAs you can see when he is going at full speed he ends up with his front legs tucked right under him. This is the only drawback to this behaviour and why eventually I will transfer it to a running …
Ok…time to bite the bullet.
I'm going to be brave and finally post a video or two. These two runs are of Cypher from last night and of Raven from last November (we missed getting her Masters Agility run from last night).Cypher is doing his Masters Jumping run (4th place) and Raven is doing a Masters Agility run (1st place) …
Raven has a win :-)
Tonight was Perth Training’s Agility and Jumping Trial. We definitely fared a bit better this Saturday than last! Raven was a star again and took 1st place in Masters Agility. It wasn’t smooth sailing in a number of places but her speed compensated for that. We had a brilliant run in Open Jumping apart from …
First Day Trial 2007
Cloverdale Canine Companions held the first day trial for the year today and I think my brain overheated with the hot weather and the humidity! Sadly we only had one Q out of 10 runs and I managed one other Q with one of the other dog’s I ran. I also learnt a lesson about …
Getting Ready for Nationals
Took some photos today of some of the conditioning work I do with Raven and Cypher to get them at their peak fitness for the Nationals coming up in Adelaide, May 4th,5th and 6th.Raven can't swim quite as fast as Cypher but she gets a head start by doing a launch off the edge rather …
Gozzy Trial March 2007
It was a good night all round for us with only one frustrating 3 seconds out of my 6 runs with my two BCs. I ran another Rhonabwy BC tonight, a boy called Dexter for his first time in Excellent Jumping and he ran beautifully for me right up until I got lost! We lost …
Cypher’s Health Stats Update
Good news received today, Cypher’s TNS test results came through on the email. Turns out he’s clear and not a carrier, so that’s good to know. TNS stands for Trapped Neutrophil Syndrome and it is a fatal disease for those affected. Now the test is available breeders will be able to start to eliminate the …
